Serj reclined in his seat as a bid was made for every single piece of real estate that had been offered in the auction. "A big player," he thought to himself. Before conducting his response to the bid, the Muun leaned forward in his seat and called up the records of the InterGalactic Banking Clan.
Despite being mostly defunct in the wider galaxy, the Muun's still liked to keep tabs on all upcoming corporations, so that in the event a profitable opportunity emerged, they could quickly take it before competitors could move in. Humans in the past quarter century had risen to become real commercial opponents of the Muuns (which explained the IGBC's lowered influence on things) but their business acumen was as inferior to a Muun as they were to the war machines that seen their sudden rise.
"Emeritus Industires," Serj said aloud. He knew the company well. His former Master had been a joint owner with Circe Savan, and just like the Jedi's bid beforehand, Serj wanted nothing to do with Ayra's former associates.
In the same manner that Taeli Raaf's bid had been declined, Serj struck it off from the auction with no response to Venessa Vantai. Realizing that his auction had caught the attention of some extremely powerful, dangerous individuals, the Muun leaned forward to sell quickly.

When the bid came through from the Sith Empire, Serj released a long sigh. Unlike the Jedi Master or the D.C.M.M's bids, Serj couldn't simply strike off this bid without a response, less he offend and invite the wrath of a Sith Lord. He had seen that happen too many times.
"Greetings, my Lord," Serj replied. "We would be happy to accept your offer of a full disclosed single payment for the Holocron. Once the payment has been received, an agent will meet with you to deliver your new aqusition."

Another elonganated sigh escaped the Muun as he saw the second bid from Moff Malvern. It had been higher than the Sith Empire's. However, weighing the two options in either hand, Serj had picked the Sith over the Imperial simply because he reasoned that the latter was less likely to come after him for turning down the bid.
"Unfortunately, Moff Malvern, I have received a bid that was far more... persuasive." Through the line, Malvern would be able to sense the Muun's fear, no matter how well disguised it was when Serj spoke. "To compensate for your loss in this particular bid, I would grant you first rights to acquiring the Robes of Darth Bane, and perhaps perk your interest in the Skyhook station located in the Home."
After finishing his careful reply, Serj sent through a detailed review of the facility and what it could potentially offer the Moff.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Grayson, I received a bid sent from the Sith Empire for the Holocron of Heresies. We can, however, still reach an agreement for the Revan Holocron for a lump sum of 4,000,000 credits. We can also offer a similar repayment plan that we initially offered if you do not wish to pay the full fee up front."
"At 200,000 credits, we can offer a ten month plan paid per the end of every calender month, per working day, with the initial 2,000,000 credits paid up front as a deposit."

"At this time the Pendant has been removed from the auction. We apologise for any inconvinance this has caused."

It was a very interesting offer. Serj carefully reviewed it with great intrigue. He had never heard of the Cult of M'dweshuu before. He did, however, recognize additional offer on learning how to construct Sith and Dathomirian Talismans, as well as learning what this 'Obeah' entity was and Ostanes' work with it.
"Thank you for your offer. Before we accept your offer, I would like to review a portion of the written accounts of your work with the entity Obeah, your instructions with Dathomirian and Sith Magic, as well as your accounts with the Talisman construction. This is so that we can validate the sources with our own records, and prove their authenticity before accepting your bids."
"Of course, with the Apocrypha, our acceptance of your bid would hold sway if Mr. Imura accepts your proposal."
